What to Watch: Love, cowboy style; Cosby exposed & Miss Vanjie’s date from Hell
Whatever your entertainment needs, we got your back (and hopefully your mind) with Queerty’s weekly “Culture Club” column with some of the highlights of new releases, streaming shows, classics worth revisiting, and what to drink while you watch.Much like Leaving Neverland before it, this new documentary series has set Sundance abuzz with its raw depiction of Bill Cosby as an American Icon…and a serial rapist.
Director W. Kamau Bell examines the rise of Cosby first as a stand-up comic, and later, a sitcom superstar while telling a parallel narrative of how the man used his charm and celebrity to prey on one woman after the next.
In other words, he wasn’t a superstar then a monster. He was always both at the same time.We Need to Talk About Cosby tells its story through a mix of new interviews with Cosby’s co-stars, collaborators and victims.
And, again, like Leaving Neverland, victims recount his assaults in unedited, graphic detail in a way that will leave viewers dazed and furious by what they’ve just seen and heard.
